Frustrating... I found out today that the guy finishing up the build is on vacation... So, that means I won't be seeing my car for a few more weeks. Needless to say I am NOT a happy camper right now.

I'll post the lil ten second clip I guess. Even though the old exhaust is still on it in the video and the lifters were not pressurized yet. A little tappy sounding.

Smart move.

If you had waited, you would have regretted not going all the way.

So Two weeks like the thread stated... Its turned into 24 weeks. Still not done. So 16 months into this thing... I am bored. Think I may do a renegade LS3 944. After all this proect drained from me I am afraid to break it racing. Yet... I need something to race.

Sounds like a beast already. I have a brand new pair of K16 billets if you want them. Instant boost. If you just go modern with your chargers these cars are complete monsters. You already have the motor for it. What rods are you running? I think Andial used carillo.

Single plug... ??? Sounds like its time to do Turbos, heads, and cams. The twin plug will allow you to throw tons of air and fuel into it. Im running 60 lb injectors i thought about 83 or 90. Maybe later though.

Thumbs up

Hey Chris,

So is it finished?

Would love to hear more about your build - In other words; what is final configuration; how do you like it; would you do anything different; how did the budget fair and build time go compared to what you had expected?

I do not think I would / could do a build like you did BUT as I put miles on my car there may be a time down the road for something, so this is a great thread...

Also pics & videos?

A
